Research Agreements:
Research agreements are the most common way to sponsor activities at a University. These agreements allow you to utilize the full physical and intellectual capabilities of the university. First time research sponsors may qualify to use the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) document. Information on this document can be found on the college of engineering website. Use of this document allows for reduced overhead on projects less than $25,000.
There are some advantages and disadvantages to working with a public land-grant university. Many companies are concerned with things such an confidentiality, intellectual property, etc. This page on the website of the NCSU Office of Legal Affairs will introduce you to some of NC State's policies.
